Hey smokers (weed)

[mitchtv]

I have a little hash pipe that keeps clogging. I have tried pipe cleaners, but have better luck with a large paper clip, they're stronger. Is there some kind of solvent that I can soak it in? It is made of steel fittings. I have had it 30 years and don't want to dump it.

1. A guy I knew used Simply Green or Ammonia! I can't say how

safe either are, but they got the pipes back to new!

2. If you really want to clean it and still get resin...

...you can rest the bottom of the pipe in hot water so that all the resin loosens and then try to lift big chunks out of it w/ a paper clip (which is what I use too, lol).

Good luck!!

3. isopropyl alcohol seems to work just fine...

and get the bristle pipe-cleaners, not the only-cotton kind.

That should fix you right up!

:smoke:

7. that's right, the alcohol will work

I "read it in a book one time", that's it.

5. any type of citrus juice

will work.
Let soak over night and a pipe cleaner will get it sparkly clean.

6. really?

that sounds cool.....

[conscious evolution]

9. works great!

Takes time to do it though.Has to soak for a while.The longer the better.

The first hits are pretty tasty,too.

10. awesome

I like taking a hit with a mouthful of skittles--tastes soooo good.

Now I want skittles.

12. Excellent!

I hate the thought of inhaling cleaning product residue, but lime juice? :9

8. Thanks, all you Vipers

I have all of the named ingredients.

11. I also use a large paper clip that I heat up...

which I then run through the stem. The resin you capture can then be wiped on a paper for later enjoyment

15. i used to save the pipe/bong resin for times of no dope...

but i haven't run out in over three years(and i burn thru an oz/week), so i've stopped saving it.

13. The real question is,

why aren't you sharing with me?

;)

[dysfunctional press]

14. rubbing alcohol.

i use a mixture of alcohol and salt to clean my glass bong.

works great.

16. Not a smoker (anymore anyway) but...

we used to just boil the glass ones... don't know if that would work for yours tho.
